Matches strings of any character repeated a non-prime number of times

Empty input Or input of exactly 1 character Or input of at least 2 characters, followed by at least 1 something (idk what \1 matches)

Did I get it (almost)?

\1 is group 1 which is inside (), so second part is repeated 2 or more times of 2 or more char.

Interesting.

So that means match any string that is made entirely of a single repeating sequence, where repititon is possible.
